Addison and I were spoiled this weekend with a visit from my mother. When she comes down to visit I feel like I have a free hall pass from reality. This visit included a trip to Lowe’s and lots of time in our backyard. My mother has always enjoyed being outdoors, and when I look back through my childhood there is always a garden. My green thumb has never presented itself, so I’ve been a little scared to try gardening. But I was inspired this weekend and with Mom’s help and guidance we now have ourselves a cute little herb garden, some tomatoes, sunflowers, and a potato vine to cover the not-so-visually-attractive chain link fence. After we had finished in the yard, and Addie was napping so sweetly in her bed, we put our feet up and relaxed for a bit. I remembered an herb marker I had seen on Pinterest and started telling Mom how cute and easy it would be to put together. Then I decided instead of just telling her about it I should get up off my hiney and actually make them! I knew I had all the supplies, and it sounded SERIOUSLY easy.

All You Need:
wine corks
bamboo skewers
sharpie

All You Do:
1. Write the name of the herb on the wine cork.
2. Stick the sharp end of the skewer into the cork.
3. Stick the recycle herb marker into the soil next to the plant.
Pretty sure this was the easiest DIY craft I’ve made yet!
